Chapter 417: Bashing Diss

A peaceful night.

Gallas and Barak were not accused of murder by the young model, and Xiaofa spent the night with his old young model, and Ebue and Lauren seemed to have a good time......

From the standpoint of the herd, the party organized by Quaresma was a great success.

But in Quaresma's own eyes, it seemed that there could be no worse thing.

There are no impermeable walls in the world, but the paparazzi only took some bits and pieces of pictures, and as for the party venue, they definitely can't get in.

Therefore, in the media and public opinion, although there is news and hype related to this party, it has not been able to make too many waves under the categorical denial of the parties involved.

Two days later, the Arsenal players regrouped for their daily training sessions and although it was clear that they would not need most of their squad for the Porto game, they still had to adjust and maintain their form through training.

"I swear, that night was the hottest party I've ever attended!"

"Indeed, it's been a long time since I've had that much fun!"

"Let's give a round of applause to Ricciardo!"

……

There was a lot of laughter and laughter on the training ground, but Quaresma was indifferent———— I won't have a party like this next time I beat me to death."

While his team-mates were discussing how to play next, Quaresma had already approached Arsene Wenger alone and expressed his demands on the pitch.

'Porto is my old club, I have a lot of team-mates there and I hope I can go on the pitch and play against them.

He really wanted to soar on the Porto Dragons stadium one more time, and he didn't want to let it go when he had this opportunity.

He wondered what kind of form the Porto fans would be in front of him if he scored at the Stadio Dragons.

Wenger just frowned and looked at Quaresma, and after a long time, his brows finally relaxed, and he sighed softly, as if he could see Quaresma's innermost thoughts.

'I don't want you to waste your fitness in an inconsequential game, but since you want to play, I'll give you some time, of course, don't expect to start, I'll put you on at a certain time in the second half.'

Quaresma was happy, he knew it was a big concession for Arsene Wenger, and if he didn't say it, he would have been on the bench for the rest of the game, regardless of the outcome.

When he got home in the evening, Quaresma lay on his bed staring at the ceiling with his eyes lost, but his mind had already drifted to the pitch that had always haunted him.

It seemed that the familiar faces were right in front of his eyes, and the scorching cheers and applause, as well as the eager shouts of his name, were close at hand.

……

Before Arsenal left for Porto, the club announced the squad for the game against Porto, which was a normal process, but this time the names on the list caused a lot of controversy.

Prior to this, Arsene Wenger had already said that Arsenal would give more rookie players some opportunities to practice in this game, after all, the training value of the Champions League game is far greater than that of the FA Cup or League Cup, and it is definitely a rare resume for young players.

But when Arsenal announced the list, everyone was surprised to find that in addition to Liao Liao such as Quaresma in the main lineup, most of the squad were substitute players, as well as nearly ten reserve youth team players.

With Arsene Wenger's stubborn character, I'm afraid Quaresma and others will only sit on the bench and press the lineup, and it is more young players who are running on the field.

In fact, this is understandable, what kind of lineup to send is Wenger's right, and no one can say anything.

Now that Arsenal have secured top spot in their group, face a packed schedule in the Premier League and travel to Japan for the Club World Cup in the near future, it is only right to give their key players more time to rest in an inconsequential game.

But the problem is that this game can just decide who can qualify as the second ancestor.

Therefore, public opinion suddenly became lively.

In Arsenal's group, Arsenal are already set to top the group, Hamburg has also decided to go home, leaving Porto and CSKA Moscow to compete for a place in the last 16 of the Champions League, and the losing one can only go to the UEFA Cup.

Porto have already played CSKA Moscow over two legs, winning one game each and taking three points each.

Porto have faced Hamburg twice, winning one and drawing one, and are currently second in the group with seven points.

CSKA Moscow won away at Hamburg, so they are currently third in the group with six points.

In the final round, if analyzed by strength, Porto lost to Arsenal, and CSKA Moscow won Hamburg at home, so that the Russian Premier League team will overtake Porto and qualify for the second place in the group.

The Russians are also dreaming of such a dream, and after Porto was forced to draw by Hamburg, they seemed to have foreseen the moment when they qualified.

However, now Arsenal's squad is like a bolt from the blue, directly on the heads of the Russians.

If Arsenal do send a group of youngsters to work, then Porto will definitely not waste this opportunity to change their own destiny.

Once Porto and CSKA Moscow win against their respective opponents, there will be no change in the group standings.

In this way, CSKA Moscow will be eliminated.

Where can the Russians accept such an outing?

So CSKA Moscow held a press conference, and head coach Gazaev said at the press conference that he hoped Arsenal could uphold the competitive spirit and go all out in the game in Porto.

'Arsenal shouldn't have put a lot of young players in the squad in such a crucial game, it's disrespectful to the Champions League and it's disrespectful to the opposition!'

'Arsenal's clash with Porto will largely determine the other qualifying place in the group and I sincerely hope that Arsenal will face this game on a level playing field.

'I know Arsenal and Porto have a good relationship, Arsenal got the new European Ballon d'Or winner Quaresma from Porto for a low price, and Quaresma must have a deep affection for Porto, but that's not a reason for Arsenal to be inconsequential about this game.

"Football is a competitive sport that demands fairness, and if a team deliberately releases water to another team to achieve a certain goal, it is simply the greatest desecration of football!"

"We will apply to UEFA to send a special investigation team to the Arsenal vs Porto match to ensure that the game is played normally, and if Arsenal insist on going their way, they will definitely be punished."

"We will never accept such a humiliating way of elimination!"

……

Gazaev's tone was full of indignation, as if a man who had been greatly wronged was complaining to the world about Arsenal's atrocities.

CSKA Moscow's press conference made it seem as if a major earthquake had occurred in the entire European football world, and public opinion was completely boiling.

The Russian media, of course, will take the position of CSKA Moscow and demand that Arsenal play fairly, put the main players back in the squad, and not release water on Porto.

They stand on the moral high ground and wantonly criticize Arsenal's behavior, as if Arsenal are really a cancer in world football.

There were also those who sided with CSKA Moscow, as if they could stand for justice, for truth.

In addition to some people who eat melons who watch the excitement and fear that the world will not be chaotic, more people are actually on the side of Arsenal.

Football is naturally based on the spirit of competition, but these high-sounding words are not even necessary to mention in the face of honor.

Want to qualify?

OK!

Each according to his ability!

When the initiative to qualify is not in your own hands, do you still have to rely on your opponent to help?

It's ridiculous!

Arsenal face a dense schedule in the Premier League and also have to play the Club World Cup, and Arsenal, who don't have a deep bench depth, seem to be stretched thin in many cases.

Is it just for the sake of a so-called fair play spirit at the expense of one's own performance?

Arsenal are obviously not stupid, they can't do such a stupid thing of sacrificing themselves to make a wedding dress for someone else!

The fans of the two sides of the argument are about to quarrel, this wave of public opinion war, the sky is dark, countless so-called football celebrities stand up to express their opinions, what seems to be a trivial matter has risen to the height of the entire human debate.

And CSKA Moscow has really sent a request to UEFA to send a special person to supervise the match between Arsenal and Porto to ensure the fairness of the game.

Anyway, it seems that CSKA is planning to break the net, and if they can't qualify, they won't let Arsenal have a good time.

This is a typical hatred of the rich!

On Arsenal's side, everyone didn't expect things to be so big, and it seems to be out of control.

The war of public opinion seriously affected Arsenal's preparations, and for a time the entire club was under tremendous pressure from the outside world.

There was no way, and Arsenal had to hold a special press conference to convey the attitude of the Arsenal club to everyone.

In fact, such a press conference only needs Wenger to attend, but Wenger knows that he can't say a lot of words, so it is better to let Quaresma, who dares to speak out, to make Arsenal's attitude tougher, so he brought Quaresma and captain Henry to the press conference.

In fact, Quaresma doesn't care much about public opinion at all.

What if you say Arsenal don't have a spirit of fair play?

People are forgetful, and when Arsenal lift the trophy, who remembers what happened?

However, now that the matter had come to this, Quaresma didn't care to say anything more.

……

The Arsenal club's press room was already full of reporters, with long guns and short guns, light cameras, and countless reporters standing in the aisles and back rows, crowding the modest press conference hall like a sardine can.

Quaresma felt as if journalists from all over Europe had come.

I couldn't help but chuckle, such a scene was very funny.

People are naturally gossipy, and chasing things and news seems to be an innate instinct, so the media came into being, and they are always at the forefront of the times.

If they can have a lower limit, then journalism is still a great profession, isn't it?

"Friends from the media, it's a pleasure to meet you here."

"There's no need to have this press conference because in my opinion, no matter what kind of squad I send in the game, it's the right of us at Arsenal and no one else is in a position to point fingers."

"I don't think there's any rule in UEFA that doesn't allow young players to play in the Champions League, right?"

'My coaching style is to be good at scouting young players and giving more young opportunities, like Cesc Fabregas, who was able to play in the Premier League at the age of 16, is there a more valuable opportunity for young players to develop than that?'

"Football has its own unique competitive spirit, but let's not forget that the ultimate value of football lies in wins and trophies."

'Arsenal have a tough schedule ahead of them, and there's a Club World Cup to play, so I don't think there's anything wrong with rotating some players.

'In the Premier League, I rotate almost every game and there are a lot of young players from the Academy, so why didn't anyone come forward and point fingers at Arsenal at that time?

"Here, I reiterate once again that it is my freedom to arrange my squad and that it is my right to put young players in the squad, and if UEFA has rules that do not allow young players to play, then I will follow the rules, otherwise, please don't question my rights and freedoms."

……

After that, Wenger put down the microphone, his attitude was very resolute, but his words were not very intense, and he really couldn't say some rough scolding words.

But it doesn't matter, there's Quaresma there, and that's what Wenger brought with him.

So Quaresma picked up the microphone right after.

"For some people who make a lot of nonsense and point fingers at others for their own benefit, what I want to say is, how far and how far to go!"

"No matter how we arrange our troops, as long as it is within the rules, it is our freedom, and you have no right to blame!"

"Don't talk about the competitive spirit and stand on the moral high ground to criticize others, because you don't have such qualifications at all!"

"Everyone knows what happened to Arsenal recently, no one will do something good at the expense of their own interests to achieve someone else's good!"

'If Arsenal don't have to deal with a busy schedule, then we have to play the main players, and I don't think it's disrespectful to send young players in the Champions League!

"The important thing is that CSKA Moscow has lost the initiative to qualify, but still has to stand on the moral high ground and coerce us Arsenal to help them qualify, how can it be reasonable?"

"In my opinion, CSKA Moscow's behavior is really an act without competitive spirit, and is it fair to exchange Arsenal's sacrifice for CSKA Moscow's qualification?"

"It's madness!"

"To qualify from the group, you have to rely on yourself to work hard, not to force others to give you a place!"

"I advise them to think about how they do it when expressing their attitude towards what others are doing."

"CSKA Moscow should be thankful because their two games against Arsenal are over, otherwise, I think I would have been tempted to give them a heavy defeat."

"I will never show mercy to such an opponent!"

……

Quaresma's words made the reporters in the audience ecstatic, and they liked such stark and fiery rhetoric.

All the newspapers were out of stock, and Arsenal's statement was so tough that it was like pouring a scoop of water into a boiling oil pan, and the effect was almost like an explosion.

Quaresma's words were supported by countless people, who already had an incomparable dislike for Moscow.

If you want to qualify and fight for it yourself, you don't have the strength but you still ask others for help, which is a bit shameless.

Of course, in a way, Arsenal's deployment of young players in crucial matches that would determine the fate of the other two teams did not do CSKA Moscow a bit unfair.

But from Arsenal's own point of view, this is undoubtedly the most in their own interests.

Why should I sacrifice myself to fulfill you?

There is no such reason!

No one will be able to point the fingers!

The matter is in trouble with UEFA, and UEFA is also anxious.

They don't seem to be very easy to meddle with, and it doesn't seem necessary to meddle!

As Arsenal have said, UEFA doesn't have a single rule that doesn't allow clubs to field young players in the Champions League.

They can send in match supervisors, but the supervision is limited to whether Arsenal deliberately put water on the pitch to play match-fixing for Porto.

But Arsenal are sending young players, and these young players will definitely give their all in the game, so how can the rare opportunity to practice be easily wasted?

And that's not what they're going to oversee at all!

It's also to blame CSKA Moscow for not being angry and putting its fate in the hands of others, so how can others care about your life and death?

And, from UEFA's point of view, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

The Champions League is already a game to watch, which is why UEFA is secretly manipulating some draws.

And now that things are so big, the Champions League has naturally attracted much attention, but it has allowed UEFA to get the most substantial benefits.

As for who will qualify in Porto or CSKA Moscow, UEFA will not care!

Therefore, when UEFA had to express its position under the strong accusation of CSKA Moscow, it only expressed painlessly - hoping for the most fair result of the game.

As for match supervision, they will also be sent to the Dragons Stadium, but as long as Arsenal give their all on the pitch, there will be no problems.

Importantly, UEFA encourages young players to have more opportunities, which is truly in line with the laws of football development.

CSKA Moscow was extremely aggrieved, but helpless, they felt as if they had been abandoned by the whole world.

Are we wrong about co-authoring?
